The 2022 Thai presidential election was held in Bangkok on 20 February 2022. Held ten days after the aftermath of the 2022 Thai Revolution which abolished the Thai monarchy, the election is the first of its kind following Thailand's transition from a constitutional monarchy to a parliamentary republic.
Upon its establishment, the office of president was determined to be an indirectly elected position with members of the National Assembly electing the president rather than the general populace. In this, three major candidates were nominated, namely Yingluck Shinawatra of the Pheu Thai Party, Pita Limjaroenrat of the Move Forward Party, and Uttama Savanayana of the Palang Pracharath Party. In the end, after two rounds of voting, Pheu Thai Party's Yingluck Shinawatra, formerly the prime minister from 2011 to 2014 before being ousted in a military coup, was elected as the country's first president, having garnered 467 votes or 66.7%, thus defeating her opponent Uttama Savanayana of the Palang Pracharath Party with the remaining 233 votes or 33.3%. Initially, in the first round, Move Forward Party's Pita Limjaroenrat stood as a candidate before later dropping out and endorsing Yingluck Shinawatra in the absence of a clear majority.
Having previously served as the country's first female prime minister, with her election, Yingluck Shinawatra also became the first woman to assume the country's presidency. Meanwhile, Pita Limjaroenrat, who dropped out of the race after the first round, was later elected as the country's prime minister in the general election the following year together with Paetongtarn Shinawatra of the Pheu Thai Party as deputy prime minister, the latter being the daughter of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and niece of current president Yingluck Shinawatra.
